Hi,
You can use ORA_FFI package to call foreign C functions or WinAPI.

For obtain the Device Context of a printer, you can use CreateDC WinAPI function and you can call it through ORA_FFI package directly (without having external DLL).

Before drawing, you must call a lot of anothers functions: SetAbortProc, StartDoc and etc., but you can't call them through ORA_FFI package because they have parameters of structure type. You must write an external (foreign) function on C language to call them.

HTH
